My big kid...

How is it possible that my little baby boy is big enough to go to preschool? He has been looking forward to it all summer long. He couldn't wait to be a "big kid" and where a "packpack" and go to school. He kept telling me all summer long, "Look mom I'm bigger now". I looked, and everytime I look I can't believe what I'm seeing. When did my baby turn into a little boy?
Here he is on the first day of school. He was much too excited to stand still and pose, so this is all I got:

 

Here is his cousin Adrian who is in the same class:

Love you Deacon!

End of Summer 2011

Deacon and I got back from Virginia a few days before school started. It is good to be back home, but we miss Scott. He will be there until November. We have stayed busy though and enjoyed the last few weeks of summer. Here are the highlights:

Deacon had a ball at the ward party:

He loved getting his face painted as a pirate and had the "Aargh" down pat. He was not happy when we had to wash it off before bed:

He loved jumping in the little bouncy house:

We enjoyed spending the weekend with my family at the cabin in Fairview.

We were so sad that we missed Preston and Lindsay's wedding while we were away, but Deacon was thrilled when they gave him new tie from the wedding:

So handsome!

We spent some time at the Spanish Fork Resevoir. It isn't Virginia Beach, but Deacon still had fun!

Deacon was happy to see Grandpa and Grandma. He loves hanging out at their house:
